This was one of my more hardest to capture to date. Used was a sigma 105 marco ,2x conv & extension tubes I tried many different combs most likely was 35mm ext. My biggest obstacle was the dov as you can see its paper thin and any breeze would move the frost. I had also noticed that my body would cause the frost to curl in and out of focus. The photo was manual focused and to fine tune the adjustment I pressed on the base of the tripod leg with my foot and captured the photo with a remote control
